ELO LUV

This plate is all sorts of awesome. I mean, ELO LUV?

Now, I'll admit that I'm not the biggest ELO fan, but even I can get behind this one.

Electric Light Orchestra was a British rock group from Birmingham, England, that released eleven studio albums between 1971 and 1986 and another album in 2001. ELO was formed to accommodate Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne's desire to create modern rock and pop songs with classical overtones. After Wood's departure following the band's debut record, Lynne wrote and arranged all of the group's original compositions and produced every album.

Despite early singles success in the United Kingdom, the band was initially more successful in the United States, billed as "The English guys with the big fiddles." They soon gained a cult following despite lukewarm reviews back in their native United Kingdom. By the mid-1970s, they had become one of the biggest selling bands in music. From 1972 to 1986, ELO accumulated 27 Top 40 hit singles in both the United Kingdom and the United States. The group also scored 20 Top 20 United Kingdom hit singles, as well as 19 Top 20 hit singles in the United States Billboard charts. The band also holds the record for having the most Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 hits of any band in chart history without ever having a No. 1 single.

ELO collected 19 CRIA, 21 RIAA, and 38 BPI awards, and sold well over 50 million records worldwide, not including singles.

Or maybe they're just trying to say hello, Love. I would prefer ELOGVNR, myself.

Verdict: Hello, Love... in a Cockney accent.
